Lobo, better known as "the Main Man", is a bounty hunter appearing in DC Comics.
Background[]
The Czarnians were a peaceful alien race living on the planet Czarnia... That is, until one certain child was born. This child caused his mother to go insane just by looking at him, and was given the name Lobo, as to the Czarnians, the word meant "he who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it". In his adulthood, Lobo even became responsible for the extinction of every other Czarnian by unleashing a swarm of mutant scorpions upon the planet... a science project he gave himself an A+ on. Now as the last Czarnian, Lobo has taken up life as a bounty hunter whose infamy has reached every corner of the universe.
Powers & Abilities[]
- Czarnian Physiology: It is said that Czarnians can only be truly killed by other Czarnians (though this does not matter to Lobo either way, as he cannot die by any means). Lobo can survive unaided in the vacuum of space.
- Superhuman Strength: His strength varies greatly from writer to writer. Lobo has shown strength sufficient enough to knock out Superman with his blows without too much apparent effort, but at times is barely able to pick up cars. At most times, Lobo is shown to be on par with Superman in terms of strength. He has even shown enough strength to destroy entire planets. More often than not, Lobo is able to effortlessly lift far in excess of 100 tons.
- Superhuman Stamina: He possesses inexhaustible stamina and in most interpretations cannot tire.
- Immortality: Lobo once died, but was deemed too rowdy for even Hell to contain, so they sent him to Heaven instead. Obviously, they didn't want him either. So they returned Lobo's soul to his body, granting him with immortality. Because of this, Lobo cannot die from aging or diseases, and combined with his healing factor, makes him extremely difficult to kill.
- Invulnerability: He has at times shrugged off blows from the likes of Superman with no damage, taken planet-destroying attacks without so much as a scratch but at other occurrences has had his skin penetrated by bullets and had only some resistance against most magic spells and attacks.
- Superhuman Speed: Lobo possesses the ability to sharpen his awareness and increase his temporal flow, appearing to move faster than humanly possible. He can move at incredible speeds.
- Self-Sustenance: Lobo does not need any food, water, air, or sleep and he can survive in the vacuum of space without any harm.
- Healing Factor/Regeneration: Lobo's healing factor is strong enough to regrow limbs in a matter of seconds, including the bone. Superman himself has stated that Lobo can even fully regenerate from a single drop of blood. Using this technique, he can even create multiple Lobos (or Son of Lobos) at once using his blood, meaning you cannot truly kill Lobo. Even if you destroy his physical body completely, his soul is still not able to move on and can possess other beings in order to form them into Lobo’s own image (he once did this with a snail).
- Bio-Fission: If Lobo spills even a drop of blood, that drop can become a completely new Lobo. This ability was later removed by Vril Dox but since then it appears to have been restored.
- Thermal Immunity: According to Lobo's own words, he "ride through the cold of space and the heat of blazing suns". Once he withstood a flaming attack which killed dozens of Thunderers of Qward around him.
- Possession: Due to Lobo being banned from the afterlife, if Lobo's body dies his spirit may wonder the earth. With this he can possess other beings, and even repossess his own body, no matter what state it's in.
- Genius Level Intellect: As unbelievable as it may seem, despite his violent and loutish nature, Lobo seems to have a genius-level intellect in matters of destruction and violence. He can create complex virulent agents and the necessary antidotes to them such as the one he let loose on Czarnia, resulting in the deaths of the entire population in the span of one week. He was also able to scavenge parts from a destroyed time hopper and attach them to his own bike, producing a working time machine.
- Mechanical Aptitude
- Tracking: The tracking ability allows him to trace any prey across even the Universe.
- Multilingualism: By his own account, Lobo can speak 17,897 different languages from across the galaxy.
- Morse Code: Lobo can communicate in Morse Code.
- Expert Combatant: Lobo is a proficient hand-to-hand combatant, being able to hold his own against such accomplished fighters as Superman., Batman, Aquaman and Etrigan
- Marksmanship: When someone yelled that Lobo was shooting and going crazy, Jonas Glim stated that every shot is carefully place with Lobo. Lobo then proves this by shooting down a weight to crush the man that insulted him. This feat is even more impressive when you add the fact that Lobo was using a full auto firearm when he did this.
- Indomitable Will: According to Lobo's own words, a power ring is powered by willpower, and no one has more willpower than himself. He once used his own willpower in conjunction with his fabulous strength to break a force field created by G'nort.
Equipment[]
- The BFG (Big Fraggin' Gun):
- Chain Sickle/Chained Hook: This is Lobo’s signature weapon, made out of a Titanium alloy that makes it extremely durable (it was once able to pull a neutron star without getting destroyed). He mostly uses it to drag enemies closer before finishing them off, or dragging them behind his Spacehog.
- The Spacehog: Lobo's rocket-powered motorcycle, which is his primary form of transportation as well as his most prized possession, to the point where he becomes enraged if anyone so much as scratches it.
- Combat Knives: Lobo while prefers his explosives and guns, he also likes using knives while in combat, though his personal favourite is that he carries a giant bowie knife
- Explosives:
- Frag Grenades: One of his favourite explosives are Frag Grenades, and he carries a lot of them. These Frag Grenades are easily capable of incapacitating a target.
- Plasteek: Plasteek can easily be attached to walls and other objects and, with a fuse, can be lit to explode, destroying any door or object in Lobo’s way.
- Exploding Cigar: Lobo usually smokes a cigar which can easily combust for a surprise attack.
- 8-Ball Bomb: Modeled after an 8-Ball, it has such great explosive power that it can destroy a city. Also, it is similar to a weapon used to a certain fighting game toon…
- Guilt Grenade: Lobo surprisingly has a Guilt Grenade that allows the target to feel extreme guilt for their actions.
- Big Bruiser: Lobo created a bomb he can send back in time to kill targets in the past. It also wiped out the dinosaurs.
- Atom Bomb: This nuclear warhead was used by Lobo in an attempt to kill the dastardly Road Runner… expect it didn’t work and he got blown up instead.
- Big Bomb: This bomb was easily capable of killing Bugs Bunny’s cousin.
